Good Morning! Soon of to my fitness studio FitHit in Radstadt. But first some breakfast and coffee. Have bad pain in my hip after last week long car rides as well as inactivity, so yesterday I spend the time in the fitness studio just slowly stretching and doing my core-&hip exercises. It already feels better, so might skip the pain killer tonight. But now back on track, and happy for that! Last year I couldn't ski because of the pain (arthritis in my lower back as well as a dislocated hip bone) and wanted for this season see if I could, with training, build up my body so I could ski, so in December I started to work with a PT, and IT WORKED!!! So happy to be able to be able to ski, as well as less / no pain. So just keep up the good work, even without access to a fitness studio. Will show my exercises in a later posting.

Found new running socks by Falke and my old Beats headphones while sorting out my fitness gear...

And I also wanted to build up my cardio, and I can't run, so the stationary bike is now my best friend. But can't just sit there and pedal without any goal. In Stockholm I trained at SATS and had two fantastic spinning instructors so wanted to create a bit of the same feeling... hard I know... But thank god for all the blogs that are out there. Got inspiration and also a couple of playlists on Spotify. Will try this out over the next couple of weeks and will share with it with you and also let you know how well the exercise plan worked in IRL with my mountainbike... Ciao Catharina
